The Artist’s Philosophy About Life: Review Of Master Yun's Paintings, By Mr Joel Tan

When you first view the paintings by Master Yun, you will be mesmerised by the beautiful arrays of vibrant colours and the seeming spontaneity of the brush strokes. You see a peacock here and a peacock there juxtaposed with abstract and semi-abstract splashes of colours and Chinese characters and you’ll try to make out where the heads and tails are, all full of symbolisms. When the lightings change, you will be enthralled by what you see.

But look beyond all these symbolisms for therein lies the artist’s philosophy about life. If you see that, you will come away from the exhibition enriched from the experience.

云龙子大师的画作，第一眼便会被斑斓的色彩和看似即兴的笔锋所深深吸引。画中一只只的孔雀隐没在抽象和半抽象的色彩和汉字中，让你弄不清孔雀的头尾，满是象征意义。灯光变换时，你还会为眼前的画面着迷。

这一切意象的背后涵盖着画家的人生哲学。若你看见，便不虚此行。
